Lord Grim was now Level 21. Killing Level 26 monsters would give him the most experience. But it wouldnt give much more. With each higher level, the experience would increase by 2%, so a five level difference would give an extra 10%. However, with these five levels, the difficulty increase wasnt as simple as just 10%. In addition, if players went to level alone, without even talking about the dangers, the 10% benefit couldnt be seen due to the increased time needed to gain the experience. It might even be less efficient than killing monsters at the same level.

But the current situation was special. Ye Xiu didnt care about this small amount of extra experience when killing higher leveled monsters. Rather, he did it to avoid the vast crowds of people and to look for a quiet place to level. After sorting his equipment, Ye Xiu moved Lord Grim to the Level 23-26 Area: Boneyard.

Boneyard wasnt only the name of a leveling area. It was also the name of the dungeon. It was the same as Frost Forest. The areas outside Frost Forest were Level 20-23 leveling areas and had a large amount of wild monsters. Deeper into the forest were entrances to the Frost Forest dungeon. Similarly, Boneyard had a Level 23-27 Boneyard dungeon.

Players like Blue Brook Guilds Blue River, these sorts of high-leveled players, had already conquered the Boneyard dungeon. The records showed that the Boneyard first clear party was done by Tyrannical Ambition. Ye Xiu saw that Endless Nights name was there. As for the other three members in yesterdays party, they werent on there. It looked like they werent Tyrannical Ambitions first-string characters. The Boneyard clear record had already been broken four times. The newest record was currently held by Herb Garden.

As for Boneyards three hidden BOSSes, Blue Brook Guild first cleared two of them. It looked like these dungeon records spun in these Three Great Guilds palms.

Ye Xiu didnt pay too much attention to all that. Lord Grim quickly reached Boneyard and sure enough, there werent many players here. Currently, most players were Level 21 and most of them stayed at Frost Forest to scramble for monsters. There were already Level 22, 23 monsters suppressing them there. And the monsters in Boneyard would be even more so.

After picking a good place to clear monsters, Lord Grim shook the Thousand Chance Umbrella. It transformed into the battle lance form and slaughtered its way over. Eight Midnight Cat Fingernails adorned the Thousand Chance Umbrella, which was equivalent to giving the battle lance a new tip. Adding on the replaced linking axle, these changes upgraded the battle lance form to Level 15. Besides this, the original form and other classs weapon forms were still Level 5 and naturally, couldnt be compared to the upgraded battle lance form.

The Boneyards monsters were the same as the Skeleton Graveyards. They were undead monsters. Zombies, skeletons, skeleton archers, skeleton mages, etc. They were Levels 23-26. Their main feature was that they had high damage and high defense, but moved relatively slowly.

With Ye Xius skill, these sort of NPCs werent any threat. After controlling Lord Grim to rush forward, he chose an area and began killing monsters there.

Ye Xiu killed very casually. He didnt overly pursue crucial hits, combos, juggling, back attacks, and those effect-inducing attacks. In order to fully execute these technical move, he would need to concentrate more, move faster, micro faster, and all of these things drained his energy. He was only leveling, thats all. Ye Xiu wasnt planning on fighting like he had been in the Professional Alliance finals.

Fighting and resting, Lord Grim may not have killed monsters that quickly, but he was extremely stable. Compared to attacks, Ye Xiu payed more attention to carefully dodging, which made it so that he never needed to run away and rest because he was low on life. He only rested after he ran out of mana.

In Glory, food and potions were recovery items. Food had no cooldown, but couldnt be used in combat. It restored a lot and recovered it quickly too. Potions werent as effective as food, but they could be used while in combat. At a crucial point, they could be used as a last resort. But the better the potions effects, the longer the cooldown. Moreover, potions of the same type shared a cooldown, so it wasnt possible to drink multiple health potions of different levels.

NPCs sold food and potions, but they were of the lowest level and were costly. Besides obtaining them from killing monsters, of the secondary professions, the cooks could cook food and alchemists could make potions. Each player could learn two secondary professions, but only one of them could undergo job advancement. Thats right, secondary professions had job advancements. Once a player reached Level 50, the secondary profession could only be leveled further after completing the job advancement.

At the moment, the new server had only been played on for two days. Aside from the big guilds, no one else had begun learning secondary skills. The alchemists and cooks of every big guilds still werent able to supply enough for their own respective guilds, so they didnt sell their products at the market. Players could only swallow their anger and buy high from the NPCs. The small amount of money they earned from killing monsters and completing quests were all spent on potions.

Ye Xiu was no exception. This sort of investment in the early stages of the game was absolutely necessary. But by relying on his outstanding skill, he was able to save quite a bit by not having to spend much on health potions and food. His money was mostly used on the mana recovery items. He was already quite frugal compared to normal players.

After clearing monsters for around an hour, Lord Grim escaped from battle again and drank to recover mana. Ye Xiu also lit a cigarette to rest a little. Right when he did so, a message appeared. Opening it he saw it was system prompt: Soft Mist has accepted your friend request.

After an hour, Tang Rou finally found Ye Xius friend request. Another message was sent: Sorry, I just saw it.

Tang Rou and Chen Guo really were different.

She wasnt like Chen Guo who actively looked to make friends with others. She wouldnt treat people too warmly, but she didnt make you feel cold. When you spoke, you would feel that she listened very attentively; when she spoke, you would feel that she was speaking to you. If the way Chen Guo talked with others was very wild and street-like, then Tang Rou was scholarly, reserved, proper, and polite.

Besides the time when she lost a bit of control saying Again ten times in a row, he couldnt find any faults on her.

Ye Xiu believed that this girl definitely had some sort of background. This sort of self-restraint and temperament reflected a good education. Moreover, she had that fast hand speed.

When Ye Xiu asked about how she practiced her hand speed, she hesitated. This made Ye Xiu convinced that her hand speed wasnt some sort of innate talent, but rather a result from practicing. This could also be seen from her hands. She was the same as Ye Xiu. She was extremely careful with her hands and took good care of them.

Ye Xiu was certain that these werent hands trained through playing games. Pro players left and right hands werent completely the same because most pro-players used their left hands for the keyboard and the right hand for the mouse. The two moved completely differently. But Tang Rous left and right hands moved exceptionally balanced and steady. This unexpectedly made her left and right hands uncoordinated when she played the game.

If his guess was correct, Ye Xiu believed that these quick hands were trained through playing an instrument.

It doesnt matter. If you have any questions just message me. Ye Xiu saw that Tang Rou wasnt ordinary, but he wasnt too interested in looking into her background. Truthfully, he himself still had to figure out what exactly his future path was!

Closing Tang Rous chat box, Ye Xiu was about to control Lord Grim to kill monsters again when suddenly, he heard a fit of fast footsteps from his headphones. Someone swiftly flew past Lord Grim. With a swing of a pole, the monster, which Lord Grim was about to attack, was knocked into the air.
